Hello all. This is my first time on here. Long story short I had the band done in Feb 2006 and lost a little over 100lbs and was at my goal for 3 yrs. Last October I had to let all the fluid out for 6 weeks because I was having heartburn and night coughs. Why so long I don't know. I wish so much that I would have just said no. In that 6 weeks I gained over 20 lbs. Now it won't come off. I have taken some drastic measures to no avail. I no it's not alot but we no where it goes from here. I get so paranoid just thinking about it. My band is as tight as it can go and I still can eat as much as I want. I keep it a little tighter so that there are at least some restrictions. I called my dr's office today to schedule an appt to maybe get a revision to the sleeve. I almost don't want to go because I strongly believe that it's not gonna go well. Insurance, I'm sure will be a big problem. I really only started researching the sleeve today but i'm mostly hearing good things, but i'm wondering if anyone has had any negative experiences with it. I'm afraid to have this done only to have this problem again. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Wow I did not know that vitamin d and craving sweets were related. I just had my blood work done and vit D was off and i'm hypoglycemia. Just joined the group today. I to am tired of the band. It has been great for awhile as long as it's to tight so I can not eat. But now that is changing to. Starting to gain weight.
